Community College, and Southwestern Community College. The salary range
proposed for the presidential position is between $115,000 and $130,000
annually. Treasure Valley Community College was not utilized because Ms.
Andrews was unable to contact them to receive updated information.
Motion: To adopt a salary range for the presidential position
between $115,000 and $130,000 annually. This would include a benefit package
that would be comparable, or customary, to this institution.

Discussion: Glen Keown requested clarification with regard
the establishment of a salary range and the benefit package. The benefit
package is separate and above the salary. This is a part of the contract
negotiation.
